The other half of the team is either hidden among the guard or already at the hive preparing for the mass casualty event.

After a 3 or 4 hour long mass; the Cardinal forces the throng {approximately 5 thousand various Mages, Vampires, and Werecreatures} to frenzy. They are released into the general population of the hive spire; where they begin an epic blood letting.

Ysabella is tricked into a frenzy; having avoided frenzy at mass; and ends up getting lost in hive city. She finds allied forces purging monsters in another section of the hive. an explosion reunites her with ‘Gabe Noble’, ‘Sister Susan’, and the rest of their pack in an Underhive bar and revolution staging ground being run by Agustus Mayhew and Ciaphas Caine. The pack is highly intoxicated when she arrives. Agustus sobers them up up and sends them upstairs to battle the Cardinal.

Team A is on the ropes fighting the Cardinal; the battle rages for several hours with it virtually untouched. Ysabella arrives with the pack to see the tired, bleeding divine characters. Mr. Black and Mr. White appear offering a deal.

Mr Black fatebinds the entire group and lends them some of his power. Together they walk into the ruined church to reengage the Cardinal. It strips away its ‘Cardinal’ facade and unveils that it is the Abyss incarnate; having eaten and worn Ambrosio Luis Monçada since 1999.

It explains how it has managed to exist and how it has perverted generations of human faith.
The team decides to attack and combine their abilities to defeat and reconsecrate the ruined cathedral.

The Abyss is defeated sent out of the material plane…holy light diffuses the smog and lights the cathedral; its taint cleansed……

Little does the group know; the fatebinding included Lady Petra Silon.
Lady Petra was part of the group but fell to Chaos and traded her divinity for the embrace…..
